Change DHCP settings based on Wireless Network?

microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking sharing

There are a few wireless networks that I connect to that need me to have a
static IP address. Is there anyway to specify for a connection (I.e. my
Realtek wireless card) to change from DHCP to static IP address based on the
SSID of the network it's connecting to?

You may create different script for different wireless using netsh. Or setup
reservation in the DHCP. This link may help too.

netsh commandNetsh is a command-line scripting utility that allows you to,
either locally or remotely, display, modify or script the network
configuration of a computer ...www.chicagotech.net/netsh.htm
